KSWB has been selected as one of LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell's 2014 U.S. Top Ranked Law Firms. To be eligible, the firm must have a minimum of 10 attorneys and at least 33% of their attorneys must have achieved an AV Preeminent® rating. AV Preeminent® is the highest possible Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating designation. It indicates that the individual attorney is an established practicing lawyer whose local peers have observed him or her to be "Very High to Preeminent" in legal ability and to have "Very High" ethical standards. More than 254,000 law firms were considered in the selection process, but less than one-half of one percent of firms across the nation made the final cut. The list is the only one of its kind to exclusively contain U.S. law firms.
